Mantra
Devanagari:
तमोपहा ते सूर्य नमसा हविर्भिर्विधेम
यो विश्वा भुवनानि पश्यसि चक्षुषा सदा
अस्माकं बोध्यविता तनूनां गोपा अदाभ्यः
शं नो भव द्विपदे शं चतुष्पदे स्वस्तये
Transliteration:
Tamopaha Te Surya Namasa Havirbhirvidhema
यो विश्वा भुवनानि पश्यसि चक्षुषा Sada
Asmakam Bodhyavita Tanunam Gopa Adabhyah
Sham No Bhava Dvipade Sham Chatushpade Svastaye
Translation:
Unto You, O Surya, destroyer of external and internal gloom, we offer worship with reverence and oblations,
You who ever behold all existing worlds with Your omniscient eye;
Be the vigilant protector of our bodies and our infallible guardian,
And grant peace and welfare to our two-footed and four-footed beings.
